I got up this morning to get my jog in before it got too hot. It was about 7:30am and I saw this bicyclist stopped on the corner of a road snapping pics. I thought he was taking pics of an open country field. I looked up and there were tons of colorful gorgeous hot air balloons all in the sky. It was beautiful.

I thought I'd go up on the hill a ways up and get an even closer look and snap a pic. Those things go faster than I thought because by the time I got there, the balloons were behind the trees. Darn it all.

It was so funny because I went through this one neighborhood and people were out getting their paper or watering grass or just exercising and people were all looking at the sky in awe.

I'm going to try again tomorrow and take my camera with me.

Anyone have any pics of the balloons to share and post?

I'm going later today... I've never been but can you see the balloons throughout the day? Also, they say there's a "hot air balloon launch window" on their schedule from 6-8pm each day. Does anyone know what that exactly is?

Friday around 8pm the balloons swarmed over my neighborhood in Neely Forrest next to Plain Elementary. One landed on the street next to ours. My wife and i were at the movies so we missed it but my mom and daughter loved it as did the rest of the neighborhood.

On Saturday same time, one balloon landed IN OUR FRONT YARD! And yet again we missed it because we were at FWA watching the balloons launch. The hilarious thing is that we were like 50 ft away from this one balloon inflating and it just so happened that THAT was the balloon that landed in our yard.

We arrived home just in time to see the chase vehicle leave with the packed up balloon and that's when my wife recognized the vehicle from the vehicle next to where we were taking pictures. If anyone wants to see our pictures do a Facebook search on Julia Andy Barner, the pictures should be public.

That is hilarious. What are the chances of that happening? Y'all were at FWA and all the while, FWA was at your front door.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Looks like your cute little girl had a great time.
